The preferred means by which the sides of the pieces 11 and 12 intothe line I have accOmplished my Objects are llllS- of stitching byrwhichsuch pieces'll and 12' trated in the drawing and are hereinafter areconnected with the sleeves 13 and 14, such Specifically described lThal?

in substantially thefcondition of use when ample ventilation is providedfor the coat Worn; Y whereby they objectionable features of prior me 5 fFig. 2 is an' outside -vieW of the two back n constructions are avoided.At the same time,

with the changed position. Y A A .v

By the use of my invention, I have pro vided a construction which isvery neat-and attractiveand which is of very great merit as comparedwith prior "constructions Ain the rain is prevented from enteringthrough the openings 16, since the pleats 17 and 18" provide adequatecovers with respect thereto.

In Ythe constructionshown in Fig. 5, side pieces 19 and 20 are shownwhich are similar in all respects to the side pieces 11 and 12 exceptthat the rows of openings 21 are in diagonal position .rather than inhorizontal position as shown in Fig. 2, the pleats 22 being alsodisposed diagonally to correspond which greatly inadequatev ventilationhas been provided. Y

While I prefer to employ substantially ythe construction as shown in mydrawing and as abovedescribed, I do not limit my invention preciselythereto, eX'cept so far as the claims may be so limited by the priorart, it being understood lthat changes might well be made with respectto the form or positionof the parts without departing from the spirit ofmy invention. i
